Bruges Beer Festival
The fourth Bruges Beer Festival will be held September 11 and 12, 2010, in the historic Belgian town. It’s organized by the Bruges Autonomous Beertasters, in cooperation with the municipality of Bruges.
Some 67 breweries will present about 278 beers on the festival! There’ll be six Trappist breweries and some artisanal Gueuze blenders and brewers among the Belgian beers on tap.
At the entrance, you buy the 2010-tasting glass (15cl) at €3 plus tokens at €1.25 each (one beer = one token). Then head in to select from among the beers on offer! In most cases, the brewer will be present at his stand, ready to answer questions.
But, as they say on television Road Trips Foodies, that isn’t all! There’ll be a “Cuisine Culinair” four chefs each day preparing food especially to go with beer. Other events include carillon concerts, “beer recitations” (a sort of interactive debate) and activities for kids.
And, if you were there last year, please note that 2009 tokens can be used in 2010!
